Thing is, at what point does it become a hate crime? If 3 pals do it 'for a laugh' in their back yard is that a hate crime? If the same 3 pals do it, film it and send it to a few friends on WhatsApp is that a hate crime? If one of those friends takes that video and post it on facebook or what ever is that a hate crime?

It's a tricky one.

Yes it is. If they make it then feel the need to send it on to other people then crime complete really. What's the purpose of making it and then sending it on?

I'm sure the court will dish out a suitable sentence.

I see 5 have been arrested. So who gets charged? They guy that made it? They guy in the background? The guy filming? The guy who posted it online? Sick f*ckers but shouldn't be dragged through the courts in my opinion.

They will all be charged as being art and part. Well I assume they will.

What do you do with them then? The courts will be able to deal with this easily. It'll be no burden to them.

In my opinion it goes beyond bad taste.

Usually it backfires on them after it goes viral. I would imagine they could lose their jobs (if they have any) and I'd hope most of their friends would think twice before hanging around with them. A good kicking wouldn't go amiss either. Save a lot of time and money.

Who knows some of them might get lawyered up and dodge the conviction which would just make a mockery of the whole thing.

Hate crime

What a pathetic girly term for anything.
